These salted chocolate macadamia nut clusters are a great low-carb treat for the holidays! With just 3 ingredients they’re super easy to whip up and are stable at room temperature making them great for taking to holiday dinner parties.
There’s a few methods of making them; you can mix everything together in one bowl and scoop out the mounds or you can do what the video shows and place a bit of chocolate down on parchment, top with the nuts, then drizzle with more chocolate. It’s up to you which method you choose. A sprinkle of flaky sea salt on the top adds a nice touch.
